MLM Bot Watch 37 - Planes, Trainings and Automobiles

[Whiterangey]

Brand new thread for a brand new month.

In which this years bonus cheques will be revealed, which is my favourite time of year.

I see one of our favourite yawny bots is indeed having at least two meals a day on the c9. Healthy meals, sure, but approx 500-600 calories per meal, plus the shakes (which she tops up with peanut butter etc).

Why not skip the shakes and just have the healthy meals?

Well you could ask 'Why do C9s anyway?

"The CCs! Who will think of the CCs?!"

What a waste of money. The amount of calories she is eating a day will likely mean she is going to put on weight during the C9.

If that is her calorie reduction while on something that is meant to help you lose quite a bit of weight to 'kickstart' your weight loss, it's no wonder she continues to put on weight.

She described the lunch she had yesterday as a small lunch. That is not a small lunch, that is a big lunch, and then she had a big dinner, plus the shakes.

If she really wants to lose her excess weight, she needs to talk to a nutritionist.

But what's the betting she'll still claim remarkable results at the end...

She will claim she's never felt healthier!

She is also doing it completely wrong, that is not how it is designed to be done according to the FL guide to the C9.

The general consensus when bots do the C9 is that the shakes and supplements are so awesome that you don't feel hungry so don't miss food. It obviously doesn't work for Yawn given the amount of food she is eating, which while it is relatively healthy, it's not low in calories as her portion sizes are large.

She has proved it doesn't work and it's just a waste of money. All it has done is increase her calories on top of normal food and lightened her wallet. I hope potential customers see it doesn't work and it stops others from wasting their money on an expensive product which will not help you lost weight.

I was almost prepared to give Broke the benefit of the doubt regarding the melatonin containing product he latest MLM pushes (as in he only had pictures of it as part of a generic US corporate product list), but he is now specifically hawking a controlled substance...

"His", not "he".

Maelle is launching (again) on 23rd April. There doesn't appear to be much pre-launch hype. Nothing compared to the hype there was last time.

I’ve read on Twitter that the new maelle range isn’t vegan. Some bots aren’t happy...

How many times can you actually 'launch' something, though? (I'd assume once.)

It looks like BrokeBot is moving away from Travel to the CBD business and other shite he is peddling. Perhaps the latter is more lucrative than booking a few hotels here and there for a customer or two.

I don't think he's made any bookings yet, just "beaten quotes".

Doesn't sound like there's much commission to be made in beating a hotel quote by a coupla quid! Obviously the money's in recruiting team members

The anti MLM coalition (featuring yours truly Bot Watch) are launching a little line in retail products. The item you might be interested in is the pack of business cards. www.zazzle.co.uk/mlmtruth

On the front is the line “Thinking about multi level marketing? Get help, support and information. Protect yourself”. Then there is the MLM truth logo and the website address for the coalition. There is an offer on the website that brings the price of 100 cards down to £10.60.

We are proposing that if people overhear an MLM pitch being given, you could give one of these cards to the mark. Or attach it to MLM flyers, or give it to friends if they casually mention an MLM. We could help spread the word with these cards without having to confront anyone or start arguments in coffee shops.

What do you think? We do mugs too.

We will be putting up a pdf soon so that people can print their own cards without having to spend much.

Placed my mug and card order!

SSDGM, yep, my ex-Maelle (now Limelight - don’t they ever learn?.) bot told me that’s the reason she left Maelle finally, as she’d been banging on about how cruelty free and vegan Maelle is and now she feels stupid. Says they’re ‘working on becoming vegan’ which in my experience means doing bugger all and waiting for the fresh crop of bots who don’t care or realise.

Castle bots mate (got a chairman’s cheque) asking about how law of attraction fits into her blowing tyres on a journey twice to the same destination. The comments are such a load of crap. Just like LoA itself.

Have the Chairman's Bonus cheques been announced?

Also not long till MessiahBot reveals his amaaaaaaazing new MLM Product for The People

I follow someone who is a 'business coach' helping women quit the day job and start consulting on whichever niches suit them. A couple of years ago when I started following her she seemed to offer good advice and have her head screwed on well (she used to be an investment banker, was highly educated and didn't breathe a word about MLM).

In the last year or so things have changed. Going to lots of motivational speakers events costing tens of thousands of pounds, taking about the law of attraction and in the last couple of months she had joined a popular aromatherapy MLM which she is now flogging to her followers instead of her past actual business advice.

It's like watching a car crash. Here is one of the emails she sent out to her list this week:

Dear (name),

"I DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO DO MY JOB" 😲

That's what someone interested in doTERRA said to me the other day.

That's because doTERRA has a monthly product purchase requirement of around $100 (if you want to earn commission - no need to purchase if you don't) Plus, you get new gorgeous oils to play with each month, yay!

Back to the story...

Here's the thing - she DOES have to pay to do her job.

She pays to commute ($25 a week?)
She pays to eat lunch out while at the office ($25 a week again?)
...There's $200 a month.

Whereas, were she to work from home on her doTERRA biz, there'd be zero commute and zero eating out cost - just the $100 of gorgeous oils a month. So she'd already be SAVING $100 a month vs the job!

But what she didn't see (and possibly what you are missing too) is that your main costs from being employed don't come from $100 here or $100 there.

Your main costs of working in a job are OPPORTUNITY costs: the potential income you are missing out on working your heart out in a fixed salary position.

This lady was earning around $1600 a month. By comparison, I made $800 in my first 2 weeks in doTERRA.

Imagine if it took her even double that time... she'd have replaced her income in 2 months!

And then imagine she continued on from there to earn $5,000; $10,000; $100,000 a month, as I am on trajectory to do, and as so many in my wider team have done already.

At her $1,600 salary, it's actually costing her $108,483 a month to stay in her job.

That's vs. the average Presidential Diamond level earnings (a level one lady in my team achieved in 18 months).

Maybe the whole corporate world isn't as great as it's made out to be? 🤔

I don't even know where to begin.

Oh yes, I know her - she’s crossed to the dark side. All very easy for her as she had amassed a large following due to her previous endeavours. Looks like she is happy to exploit those loyal followers which is nasty; she’ll know full well that most of them will end up in debt getting caught up with the ‘Ebola cure Snakeoil’.

You pretty much have to smash your moral compass when you get involved in an MLM

I am just gobsmacked at the mental acrobats she is doing to try and justify not only the MLM 'opportunity' itself but their requirement that you must pay $100 each month to play (and on overpriced oils at that, not even on anything useful that you may be buying anyway).

I watched her webinar and there are more hidden costs than this $100, but cant remember the exact figure.

To the point where she insists if you stay in your full time job you are losing money...

Wow. So disappointed in the turnaround of this womans ethics :(

UGG! DoTERRA! I have a special loathing for the essential oil MLM's. How they manage to convince people that their essential oils are better than other ESSENTIAL! oils is beyond me. I get it if you feel that oils derived from organic plants are better than ones which aren't organic, or wild harvested is better than cultivated, (neither of which applies to DoTERRA) but the very nature of essential oil is that it is the essence of the plant from which it comes. There are regulations concerning what can be called "essential" concerning how they are made whether through steam distillation, cold pressing etc. And the idea that a particular oil smells better than another, which is obviously subjective, is also misleading as the essence of a plants aromatic compounds can be pure, organic, minimally processed, have all the therapeutic benefits of the concentrated plant essence and not be a particularly pleasing aroma (which is again completely subjective). In my line of work I encounter these essential oil MLM's almost daily. I recently chose not to take a position I had been offered and was quite interested in largely due to the fact that the business owner intended to begin using DoTERRA essential oils exclusively in all their services. I don't care if a "company" has a great product, if the product is just a cover for a criminogenic enterprise, I refuse to use it or have anything to do with it's use or promotion.
